It seems Bollywood actresses Wamiqa Gabbi and Sanya Malhotra aren't just colleagues but also close friends who enjoy each other's company. Recent glimpses into their interactions reveal a warm camaraderie, offering a refreshing peek into the lives of these talented stars.
Their friendship was recently highlighted during the success bash for Sanya Malhotra's film "Mrs.," a remake of the Malayalam film "The Great Indian Kitchen," where Wamiqa Gabbi was present to celebrate Sanya's achievement. Wamiqa shared a video from the party, capturing Sanya cutting a cake and joyfully feeding it to the team. Wamiqa affectionately referred to Sanya as "mesmerizing" in her post, showcasing the genuine admiration and affection she holds for her friend. The success of "Mrs." is well-deserved, as the film tackles important themes of marriage and patriarchy, sparking conversations and resonating with audiences. Sanya expressed her gratitude for the film's reception, acknowledging the support and love it received from viewers.
Beyond celebrating professional milestones, Sanya Malhotra has also spoken about the importance of her female friendships in general. She emphasized how her girlfriends provide a strong support system, offering a listening ear and a sense of grounding when she feels emotionally exhausted. Sanya cherishes the "natural quality to listen" that she finds in her female friends, highlighting the comfort and recharge she experiences simply by spending time with them.
Wamiqa Gabbi, on the other hand, has been making waves with her recent projects and outspoken views. She recently starred in "Bhool Chuk Maaf," a romantic comedy alongside Rajkummar Rao. The film, directed by Karan Sharma, revolves around a groom stuck in a time loop, reliving his haldi ceremony. Wamiqa has expressed her excitement for the film, noting that she couldn't stop laughing during the script narration and enjoyed the positive and fun atmosphere on set.
In a recent interview, Wamiqa also addressed the issue of pay disparity in the film industry. She questioned the logic behind paying female actors less than their male counterparts, especially when films with high-paid male leads sometimes fail at the box office. Wamiqa is determined to find creative ways to bridge the pay gap for herself, emphasizing that female leads are essential to the success of many films.
Looking ahead, both actresses have exciting projects in the pipeline. Sanya Malhotra will be seen in "Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari" alongside Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, as well as Kamal Haasan's "Thug Life" and an untitled film by Anurag Kashyap. Wamiqa Gabbi has "Dil Ka Darwaza Kholna Darling" and "Genie" lined up, and there is also the possibility of a second season of her acclaimed series "Jubilee". She is currently finishing up "Godhachari 2," which promises to be filled with action and intensity.
The friendship between Wamiqa Gabbi and Sanya Malhotra exemplifies the supportive and empowering relationships that can thrive within the entertainment industry. Their mutual appreciation, celebration of each other's successes, and open conversations about important issues highlight the importance of female camaraderie in navigating the challenges and triumphs of Bollywood. While they are indeed busy with their respective careers, their moments of connection serve as a reminder that even in the fast-paced world of entertainment, genuine friendships can flourish.
